Hyperemia is basically the increase of blood flow to a particular organ in the body. Therefore concerning an injury to the tibial metaphysis, excessive blood will migrate towards joints. It is also known to cause excessive bone growth.

Is the shoulder proximal or distal to the wrist?
Proximal vs. distal, is in reference to the Point of attachment to the axial skeleton. So the shoulder is proximal to the wrist, or the wrist is distal to the shoulder. Distal= further away Proximal= closer
Is the shoulder proximal to the clavicle?
Your scapulae are not proximal to the midline of the body. They are lateral to the midline which is marked by the spine. Proximal and distal are used to indicate the position along an arm or leg. If some thing is close to the attachment to the body, that is proximal.
What is the tibial anterior border?
The anterior border is the easily felt and very prominent, boney ridge that runs vertically along the front of the tibia (shin).
What happens to glucose that enters the nephron along with filtrate?
The glucose that enters the nephron along with the filtrate get absorbed by the glomerulus goes to the proximal convoluted tubule (pct) and again reabsorbed and enters the blood.
How are NaCl and water reabsorbed in proximal tubule?
Mitochondria are needed in order to supply the energy for the active transport of sodium ions out of the cells in the proximal tubule to create a concentration gradient which allows more sodium ions to enter the cell from the luminal side.Water passively follows the sodium out of the cell along its concentration gradient.
What is the difference between lateral and distal?
Lateral refers to a left-to-right relationship, eg, the left lung is lateral to the right lung.Distal refers to a near-far or base-tip relationship. The fingertip is distal; the base of the finger is proximal.
Why is action potential self-regenerating?
By self regenerating, they mean that when you start an action potential, it continues in proximal (nearby) tissue (e.g., nerve). The depolarization of the action potential continues along the nerve.

What is the surface anatomy of the appendix?
The appendix is located in the right iliac fossa of the abdomen. Its base lies deep to a point located one-third of the way along the spinoumbilical line, proximal to the anterior superior iliac spine. This point is known as McBurney’s point.
What is shunt muscle?
A skeletal muscle with its proximal attachments near the joint or joints at which it acts, and its distal attachments at some distance from the joints, so that the greater part of its force is directed along the bones, tending to pull joint surfaces together. This makes shunt muscles good stabilizers.
Hormones that prevent loss of sodium ions?
Aldosterone. Aldosterone acts on the Na+/K+ ATPase pump in the Distal Proximal Tube/Collecting duct in the kidney. Importantly, when this pump action is up-regulated, Na+ re-absorption goes up along with WATER, which is recovered with the sodium ions.
